New CBS news boss Bari Weiss wants ‘right-wing’ version of ‘The View’

Since officially taking over CBS News on October 6, Weiss has not hesitated to make a number of right-wing adjustments to the network.

That seems to include a new morning talk show competition. According to network sources, Weiss is quietly building what is being described internally as “The Right View,” which is being billed as a “sharp, debate-driven alternative” that she thinks the genre has been missing.

“It’s personal,” a CBS source told Hollywood insider Rob Shuter, who writes about him ShutterScoop Substack. ‘Bari has never let go of that fact The view passed on to her. Now she’s creating the show she thinks they should have hired her to help reinvent.”

Weiss was once one of the potential names on the list to replace Meghan McCain as the conservative voice on the controversial daytime talk show, but things didn’t exactly go well for her.

With her newfound power, she’s already said to have greenlit development meetings for her own View, with a “panel of diverse voices having a real conversation without the meltdowns or shouting matches that have become the signature of The View.”

Or, as another source claimed: ‘She calls what’s on TV now ‘toxic television.’ She wants a smart debate, not chaos.”
